C&D win for Jamie Osborne last April; slow start for current stable but he returned to form after a four-month break when second in a similar C&D event two weeks ago; solid claims if in the same form this time.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries.

Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous.

0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely).

Form & Verdict
Fair AW form when trained in Ireland, recording an RPR of 69 as recently as November; ran poorly in his three starts for Barry Brennan this year but he has dropped 9lb for his troubles and starts out for a new yard at a low level; tongue-tie added; interesting.
